- Bingham Gives $200,000
To Establish UL Chairs'
Mr. and Mrs. Barry Bingham have donated $200,000 to the Uni­versity
to benefit the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of
Medicine, and the University.
In the past two years gifts from the Binghams have totaled a
quarter of a million dollars. In January, 1962, they made a $50,000
gift which established the Mary and Barry Bingham Book Fund.
A portion of the income from
the gift will be used to establish
two or three Bingham chairs of
history and the humanities. The
first appointments to these chairs
will be made next fall.
Mr. Henry Y. Offutt, chairman
of the Board of Trustees, said in
accepting the gift, ''We are both
humble and proud that the Bing­hams
have selected the Univer­sity
of Louisville as the recipient
of their generosity, but we feel
that it is no less a gift to the
whole community."
Dr. Philip Davidson stated that
"that is the kind of gift every
university president dreams
about." He added that Bingham
Professors will be appointed for
their tenure at the University and
Dean Richard Barber com­mented,
"This gift combines true
generosity with deep understand­ing
of the educational aims of the
College. We will all be forever
grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Bing­ham
for the confidence they have
expressed in us, and for making
it possible for us to serve this
community better by adding new
distinguished teachers and schol­ars
to our faculty." '
T-Bred Dance
Set For 21st
will receive salary supplements A Sh
from the gift's income. Outstand- t eratOfl
ing scholars in history, English,
philosophy, modern languages,
fine arts and music history will
be considered for the positions.
Dr. William F. Ekstrom, Head
of the Department of English, said
of the grant, "The departments in
the humanities have long aspired
to real distinction, but the
largesse of the government, the
foundations, and most endow­ments
has rarely extended to such
areas as literature, the arts, phil­osohy,
and history.
"It is therefore particularly
gratifying to look forward to such
an enrichment of our faculty and
our program. The generosity, the
thoughtfulness, and the wisdom
represented by the Bingham gift
will, I am sure, be most deeply
felt and appreciated."
"A Magnificent Gift ... "
Dr. Richard M. Kain, Chairman
of the Division of Humanities
said, ''A magnificent gift, in scope
and significance! It testifies to the
value of historical and human­istic
study. This grant will chal­lenge
the faculties in which such
confidence is expressed."
Fifteen hundred dollars a year
will be set aside from the income
for one or more scholarships in
the School of Medicine. The
scholarships will be named for
Dr. Spafford Ackerly. Scholar­ships
from the fund will be given
medical students with aptitude
and interest in psychiatry.
Dr. Ackerly, psychiatrist in res­idence
at the University of Lou­isville,
was chairman of the De­partment
of Psychiatry at the
medicq.l school for 16 years before
his retirement in July. He
pioneered many improvements in
State mental health hospitals and
was instrumental in the better­ment
of local psychiatric treat­ment
and facilities.
A smaller sum, $500 a year,
will be taken from the income to
be used for new equipment and
upkeep of the Bingham Room of
the University Library. The Bing­ham
Room is now being used as
a meeting room but will be grad­ually
converted for regular stu­dent
use as a room for reading
poetry and listening to record­ings.

UL Professor
Leads Support
For Goldwater
One of Barry Goldwater's
strongest and most effective sup­porters
is a faculty member at
the University of Louisville.
Grant B. Hicks, Professor of
Political Science here, is organi­zer
and head of a Citizens' Com­mittee
for Goldwater group in
Louisville.
Mr. Hicks is serving as Chair­man
of the Louisville and Jef­ferson
County Chapter of the
organization "Goldwater for Pres­ident."
The locally financed
group is seeking support for the
Senator from Arizona's 1964 pres­idential
campaign.
As the first organization of its
kind in Kentucky, Citizens for
Goldwater will also act as a lia­son
to set up other chapters
throughout the state. It is now
planning a house-to-house canvas
of city and county to elicit sup­port
for Goldwater. Of the 6,000
volunteers needed for this job,
Hicks already has commitments
from 5,000. He commented that
not many of these are from UL,
but that the group welcomes stu­dents
who are interested in work­ing
for Goldwater.
Brought Goldwater To UL
Mr. Hicks was instrumental in
bringing the Senator to speak at
UL last year. He was then serv­ing
his second term as president
of the United Association of Con­stitutional
Conservatives, which
he also organized. He is now a
member of the Board of Direc­tors
of this group.

BACH'S B-MINOR MASS:
TRADITION VS. TRUTH
Library Lecture Lounge
Saturday, January 11, 8 :00 P .M.
Faculty, students, and public are
cordially invited
Hicks said that he was "very
favorably impressed by enthu­siasm
from people I least ex­pected
it from." He laughingly
added that this did not apply
to UL people.
Hicks originated the Citizens
Committee for Goldwater by
"just going out and tapping peo­ple
on the shoulder." Everyone
he asked agreed to help, said
Hicks. "Of course, I knew pretty
well how they fett before I asked
them," he chortled.
Will Continue To Teach
Hicks' function as chairman of
the organization will be mainly
administrative. He will continue
to teach here next semester as
he hopes his duties for Goldwater
will be routine from now on.
Hicks teaches such classes as
International Relations, Govern­ment
and Politics of the Far
East, Constitutional Law, and
History of Positical Theory. He
is known among his students for
his conservative interpretations
of politics and international
policy.
He received his A.B. degree
from UL and his M.A. from the
University of Cincinnati.
